Casey had excuses for not paying her mom back (didn't get paycheck on time, etc.). Cindy couldn't kick Casey out because she was concerned that she didn't have the means to support her and Caylee.
George: "She [Cindy] enabled her [Casey]". (Wow -- shocking)
Dr. Phil - "Don't you say 'something happened and I need you now'?" in regard to the 6 phone calls in 4 minutes that Casey made to Cindy. Cindy: "If she was asking for help, I know I would've dropped everything."
Phil: "You go from seeing this child daily to having no contact w/her for 31 days. You know that she lies but yet you say OK I believe you, she's asleep, she's this, she's that, she's not there. She's with this Zanny the Nanny for 2 years and you've never met her. You don't know her. You don't know who her father is, you never met her boyfriend who shesays she's staying with, you don't know her friends, you didn't verify her employment, the car has been impounded and you go pick up the car and smell what smells like a dead body and you febreeze the trunk and go to work. In looking back does that seem like you missed huge signals that something was wrong before the 31st day?" Cindy: "You've got to understand Casey started talking about Zanny in Spring 2006" and "People's misconception was that Zanny watched Caylee every day". (Uh .... nobody has misconceptions because there was no Zanny, freak show!) "Casey's story to me was that she was working a 2nd job, she was telling me she was trying to get her life on track. I didn' t know she was lying for 2 yrs. about the job, I didn't now she was lying about Zanny."
OK - so your child works but has no money, steals your money, steals Grandma's money, steals gas and you think this is normal for a person who has an income?! Seriously!?
Cindy: "I am going on those 31 days, of knowing that Casey took excellent care of Caylee, that she was a good mother, that I never had any reason to doubt her relationship with Caylee." WTH?! Yeah -- she was a great mom not telling you that the kid was gone and making up all those lies!!!
Dr. Phil: "I am a grandfather and I cannot imagine that over a 231 day period that I could talk to my son or DIL and not hear that child in the background. Did nothing ever go off in through your head that every time I talk to her she's sleeping or gone. Never one time ever heard a peep, squeak, laugh, cry, anything from Caylee." Cindy: "That's why on July 3, I drove down to Universal Studios and tried to see C & C. she then said she was in Jacksonville and I was irritated like you wouldn't believe."
Seriously, Cindy? You never once thought it was strange that you didn't hear Caylee in the background? I know what Dr. Phil is saying ... I can call my SIL and I hear my nieces and nephews in the background most of the time!
When asked about what she thought the smell from the car was, Cindy replied "Truthfully, I do not know" (denial ain't just a river in Egypt)
Dr. Phil: "Do you believe she (Caylee) was in that car?"
George: "Some parts of me do believe she was possibly back there. I do."
Cindy: "I don't know. I know she had to be transported to get to the woods. I don't know if she was transported in Casey's car or if she was transported in some other way."
Phil: "You needed someone in authority to compell your daughter to produce your granddaughter?" Cindy: "Absolutely."
Cindy on what she thought when she overheard Casey tell Lee that Zanny kidnapped Caylee): "Why didn't she tell me? Why did she stay away for 31 days?"
Cindy said thought Casey was pretty calm during the 911 call to report Caylee missing.
George said he didn't believe 2/3 of what Casey said was true.
What do the Anthony's think about Casey's behavior while Caylee was missing? Cindy said that Casey's mood was subdued at the bar party and she was reluctant to join the hard body contest and only did so because her friend didn't show up and she had to take her place. Um ... look at that photo -- she looks like she's having a ball!
Dr. Phil says the hard body photo shows a woman who has made a conscious decision to go to a bar within days of being someway involved in the death andcoverup of her child and has a hard time finding that {the photo} in any other way.
Cindy says it is a photo taken out of context. George says he doesn't see it that way. He couldn't be out celebrating and having a good time. George doesn't see it as acceptable behavior. Cindy denies making excuses for Casey (in re. to that photo).
Cindy: "There's something wrong with Casey." (Ya think?)
Phil tells Cindy that she sees Casey as a victim. Cindy agrees. Wow - shocking that Cindy can't see that Caylee is the victim.
How convenient that Casey has random seizures.
In closing, Dr. Phil stated he has no reason to and will not interview Casey. Sounds like Phil knows that Casey is full of bull. Dr. Phil said Cindy is desperately reaching for any reason to excuse her daughter for her role in this tragedy. In the time he spent with her, she has 3main theories:
1. Brain tumor
2. Post partum schizophrenia
3. Grand mal
Dr. Phil says she has no medical evidence of brain tumor and, as a mental health professional he is skeptical that GM seizures would contribute to what happened. He does not see any evidence of post partum schizophrenia.
My opinion: Cindy having to find explanations (seizures, post partum psychosis, brain tumor) shows me that she knows that Casey is guilty of murdering Caylee. Why even pull out these theories when Casey hasn't been convicted?! Why? Why have to justify to anyone? Isn't the fact that a jury found her not guilty enough? Why have to keep covering up with these theories if Casey is truly innocent?
George - just looking at that poor man hurts. He is really broken. I only hope he doesn't attempt to harm himself. He looks so lost, hurt, and betrayed.
